How to Get Pregnant Fast

Continued from Part 2:

For greater chances of conceiving noting changes in cervical fluid can be the key. Before starting to chart the changes in cervical mucus, you need to know what it is you are looking for. During any cycle cervical fluids can differ immensely in terms of volume, consistency and its colour. By using these indicators and charting their changes you can more accurately determine the optimum time for conception.

Directly after the menses have finished, there is usually not much cervical fluid produced. There is little or no cervical fluid produced for the first couple of days (sometimes as long as a week) following a period. The general rule of thumb can be summed up thus: no cervical mucus, no chances of conception. The stage after this, and preceding ovulation is one where there is a sticky consistency to the cervical mucus and it is a cloudy or white colour. There is not much cervical mucus present at this time either. The consistency of the cervical mucus will change to that of a moist hand lotion a couple of days before ovulation begins. This stage is accompanied by a white to cream coloured mucus.

The best conception time is a couple of days before ovulation all the way through ovulation right up to the first morning in the rise in temperature. The most cervical mucus is present during the ovulation phase of the menstrual cycle. Cervical mucus at this stage is often referred to as ‘eggwhite cervical mucus’ because during ovulation it takes on the consistency and colour of eggwhites. When the eggwhite stage comes, this is the time when the chances of conception are highest.

By taking notice of the changes in your cervical mucus, you can track your cycle more accurately, and always know where you are in your cycle. By tracking these changes over a number of months, you can get a very good indication of your exact ovulation times and use this as a guide for knowing when the optimum time for conception is.
